Ingredients
- 8 Cups chicken broth
- 0.5 Cups fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 Cups carrots, shredded
- 0.5 Cups onion, minced
- 0.5 Cups celery, minced

Steps
- Gather all the ingredients.
- In a large pot, combine chicken broth, lemon juice, carrots, onions, celery, chicken soup base, and white pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- In a small bowl, blend margarine and flour. Gradually stir this mixture into the soup. Simmer, stirring frequently, for 8 to 10 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until light in color. Gradually whisk in some hot soup, using a ladle to pour in a thin stream while whisking the egg yolks vigorously. Add the egg mixture back into the pot in the same manner and heat through.
- Add the cooked rice and chicken to the pot; cook until warmed through.
- Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish each with a lemon slice.
